However, after conducting fatigue crack growth (FCG) rate tests on L-PBF fabricated tantalum (LPBF-Ta), we found that cellular structures with specific growth directions can abnormally induce local brittle intergranular cracking, indicating that cellular structures are not always a reinforcing factor for fatigue crack resistance. Multiscale microstructural characterization reveals that when cellular structures within grains are simultaneously perpendicular to the primary thermal gradient, loading direction, and the cellular structures in adjacent grains, residual stresses and stress concentrations in cell walls lead to inhomogeneous deformation at grain boundaries, triggering intergranular cracking. Additionally, these cellular structures are more likely to form dislocation networks, which inhibit the cross-slip of screw dislocations, preventing the formation of stable dislocation sources at crack tips and resulting in local embrittlement. Moreover, recrystallization at room temperature leads to inhomogeneous Schmid factors across grains, hindering the formation of persistent slip bands. This promotes fatigue crack blunting and effectively enhances resistance to FCG. The findings of this study may provide insights for researchers focused on grain boundary engineering and computational modeling of FCG.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plasticity","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 104262"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The alloy was conventionally cold-rolled and heat-treated. The dislocation activity rooted formation mechanisms of the sigma phase were thoroughly characterized and evidenced by <em>in-situ</em> and <em>ex-situ</em> multi-scale diffraction techniques. It was revealed that nano-sized sigma particles enriched in Cr and V and depleted in Co were precipitated ultra-rapidly and uniquely during the heating process after the cold-rolling. The precipitation is spatially inhomogeneous, mainly in the severely deformed regions. The ultra-rapidity of the precipitation was achieved by the segregation of the Cr and V atoms via crystal defect-aided diffusion for composition change and by structure transformation via dislocation dissociation. The similarity of the atomic arrangement of the partial dislocations to that of the {001} sigma planes provides favorable structure transformation stimulus. In consequence, the orientations of the intensively activated dislocation slip planes dictated those of the sigma {001} planes via the FCC {111} to sigma {001} heredity, leading to the specific sigma texture.

In order to clarify the underlying deformation mechanisms of DP steels under multi-axial loading, the mechanical response of DP780 under different biaxial loading paths was examined in detail. More precisely, anisotropic behavior of DP780 in complete “σ_xx-σ_yy” space was investigated through mechanical testing, microstructure characterization, and crystal plasticity computation based on dislocation density. In particular, biaxial compression test of thin plate is realized by using specifically designed fixture, and consequently yield loci in complete “σ_xx-σ_yy” space is detected experimentally. It is found that stronger anisotropy is observed under biaxial loading compared with that under uniaxial loading at macro scale, and biaxial Bauschinger effect is detected with biaxial preloading. At the micro scale, the texture evolution is affected directly by loading paths, and the compression load contributes more to the texture evolution. The distribution of the Taylor Factor under different biaxial loading paths reveals the impact of tension and compression on the main activated slip systems (MASS). Under biaxial tension and biaxial compression loading, the MASS of DP780 is the {112} slip system. Under combined biaxial tension and compression loading, the MASS is the {110} slip system. Using crystal plasticity, the evolution of dislocation density under different biaxial loading is captured. The relationship between the biaxial Bauschinger effect and MASS is clarified. It is found that the dislocation multiplication of the {112} slip system is more affected by changes in loading path than the {110} slip system.

However, the interaction mechanisms of multiple physical processes comprising work hardening, dynamic recovery, dynamic recrystallization and grain fragmentation under complex thermo-mechanical routes are not yet well known, which greatly limits the process optimization and control of primary hot working process. In order to accurately predict the macro-micro behaviors of coarse-grained titanium alloys during multi-directional hot deformation and annealing processes, a strain-path dependent unified constitutive model was established comprehensively considering the intragranular coarse grain subdivision (ICGS) caused by ribbon and transgranular subdivided continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX), as well as the boundary-based coarse grain subdivision (BCGS) composed of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) coupled with boundary expand CDRX, and the interaction of various mechanisms under dislocation configuration. Through the combination of large deformation framework and viscoplastic theory, the influence of thermo-mechanical loading path and strain rate on grain refinement efficiency was elucidated. In the present model, the cumulative effects of loading direction changes on the degree of grain fragmentation were well identified by defining a new geometric parameter, viz. the loading axis rotation angle of the passes. The ICGS mechanism was introduced to the grain evolution model for the first time, by establishing a quatitative correlation between shear strain and the volume fraction of grain internal subdivision. In this way, the through-process precision prediction of the refinement degree of characteristic regions under multi-directional deformation paths was finally realized by combining BCGS and ICGS mechanisms, and the evolution of mechanical behaviors and internal variables in the alternating multi-directional hot deformation with heat preservation were simulated. The predictive results of the model were consistent with experiments of the titanium alloy with an average error of 4.93% and the refinement degrees of coarse-grained structures under different strain rates, temperatures and cumulative multi-directional large strains were well captured. Moreover, the applicable grain size range of the present constitutive model within a wide strain range was extended to 4 orders of magnitude (from micrometer to centimeter), and the effectiveness of the model in identifying complex multi-directional loading, multiple annealing and the heredity of internal variables during primary hot deformation were validated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plasticity","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 104248"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142988057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
